I don't know how to do it, but that would be illegal, no? You need front indicators.

Oh ok, sorry my bad.

But THAT'S ILLEGAL TOO.

Blue is only allowed on snow removal equipment. I think you might get away with clear, but blue is a no-no.

One of the members recently had green turn signals and got busted for bad taste.

You should get the silvania silverstars 3157 bulbs..they look blue-purplish when off but blink amber to be legal!

Easiest way to change the bulbs on the 05..if you got bug hands also!!--take the headlight out...save your arms from getting sliced
:P

well, if you go with a straight blue indicator bulb, just lower the car enough that it removes snow when you drive. Instant snow plow!!

You can't use any colour other than Amber for your turn signals...well, you COULD put any colour you want, but you'll be harassed by the cops. So far with the ST170's I have on my car, I've not been jacked up by any cops for not having front indicators/marker lights on all the time. When that time comes, who knows...

Another totally different option for you is to find headlights for an 05 that are grey or black inside like the ST170's...I saw a post about in Team Rigz on FJ, and someone already had them...I think they would look interesting on your car...
